WHO WILL BE THE BREAD WINNER?

November 9, 2006

If the legislation in India on child labour covers the children up to

the age group of 10 it will be very appropriate , purposeful and

meaningful one.. In the rural and semi-urban areas of the down the south

this sector contributes 30% of the total family income, rest of which

comes mainly from agriculture. Now the agricultural income of the family

does not cover even the day-to-day expenditure in this sky rocketing

price age. Now we have to closely monitor whether these children

meticulously attend the school. Otherwise mingling with the unwanted

social elements will spoil these children.

Non-formal education system is most common now a days. Then why can not

the school left outs in the age group of 10 to 14 be covered by this

alternative education system?

Secondly dumping with luxury things in the poor man's house to woo the

vote bank but not arranging for any income generation projects is the

order of the day. The poor man needs to spend some more money for the

maintenance of these luxury items which will in turn bite his purse (?)

Here it will be very apt to quote one Chinese proverb, which says:

"Don't give the fish to the poor

Teach them how to catch the fish"

Have a brain storming session & post your comments.
